Throop: postbox № BH8 273, Broadway Lane

The directional sign on top of this postbox is a fairly rare survival. It is quite common to see a postbox with the remains of one of these signs, either because the post office is no longer there or due to vandalism (see for example SZ1392 : Iford: postbox № BH7 235, Christchurch Road).
